I'm so sorry! That is tough. I hope you don't mind me jumping in because I'm going to talk about my sons who are bio...

Both of my boys DO NOT talk to people when they come up to them. EVEN FAMILY. They don't use curse words or anything, they just don't acknowledge their presence at all. My boys are 5 & 7. The seven year old is getting better at it because I have stressed over and over that they WILL respond to someone when they walk up to them. The hard thing is that I don't really care if they don't talk to people who are absolute strangers, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, but if you are standing there and saying "Say hello" and they don't, that's really annoying. That's what my boys do (and my daughter is beginning to do the same thing, she's 3). I really do think that it's a personality thing. The curse thing, well, that's really annoying that the day care can't control what is going on enough that they are hearing that. I think that is something I would address with them. And the cursing thing, in my opinion, is something tht needs to be disciplined.

It wouldn't hurt to get them evaluated, but I really believe that it's probably just the age of your son combined with his personality. Keep us posted!!
